OSx86 on Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H ?
Hey guys,
I will run a Phenom 9150e on OS X. The Mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. Which version is the best for this combo and is there support for the HD3200 IGP, I haven't a discret graphiccard. iPC, Leo4All, LawlessPPC, Zephyroth? Thanks in advance FH P.S. I did made the same post on insanlelymac, but didn't get an anwser :-( Last edited by FirstHackTosh; 10-14-2008 at 11:04 AM. |

I would say LawlessPPC as that was made specifically to get Phenom working on AMD. It's possible the latest Leo4All might work but i'm not sure. FYI, iPC isn't out yet and Zephyroth doesn't work with Phenom at all.
AFAIK the HD3200 IGP will only work in vesa mode with no QE/CI so you'll have to get a new graphics card if you want the full experience.

I can't tell you whether or not those cards are fully supported in OS X as I don't really follow ATI compatibility, but you might want to look at this thread as there are details and references to drivers for the HD 36xx series.

I have the same motherboard but with an Athlon X2 (running Leo4All 4.1). I would recommend LawlessPPC as well since it installs the Chameleon bootloader by default which is needed for Phenoms. Leo4All 4.1 has a Chameleon option as well but may be harder to get working because of its' numerous install options. Also make sure you have SATA drives since the SB700 isn't supported or else you'll get the dreaded Waiting For Root Device if you try to boot from IDE.
As far as graphics cards go I can tell you that the HD 3850 works perfectly (using the drivers that R0GUE referenced to) but it has a fan. Don't see why the 3650 wouldn't work but I can't tell you for sure; I'd prob go for a GeForce since they tend to be the most compatible. Good motherboard btw -- after some tweaking I was able to get about a 20 second boot time iPC 10.5.6 w/ Voodoo Kernel | AMD Athlon X2 5000+ BE @ 3.01 GHz | Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H | 780G North & SB700 South | ATI Radeon HD 3850 | 2GB DDR2 800 | 2 x 500GB SATA HDD | 1 x DVD-R DL SATA |

Actually, that's how we got the Phenom's going in the first place - Zephyroth 10.5.1. No PC_EFI v8... That allowed us to install on a Phenom before Chameleon EFI for K10. That was the core of my original Phenom install, then I used Zephyroth ASU to install the 10.5.3 update and later the 10.5.4 update. After a few of us had it installed and working, Lawless made it all much easier for everyone when he packaged his 10.5.4 release...
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine... |
